On 3rd March 2016 MyParkScotland with support from the Scottish Government Learning Network Challenge Fundran a one day event to look at Innovative Approaches to fundraising for parks and greenspace projects.

The learning and participatory event at the Grassmarket Centre in Edinburgh brought together people from the greenspace and community sectors, as well as recognised experts from the fields of online fundraising and community development.

We are currently compiling a formal report from the event, in the meantime below are the presentations and videos from the day.
